The (neuro)cognitive mechanisms behind attention bias modification in anxiety : proposals based on theoretical accounts of attentional bias
TL;DR: This paper proposes that two contrasting approaches may be derived from theoretical accounts of AB, and formulates a series of specific predictions, to provide suggestions to trial these two approaches one against the other.

Failure to filter: anxious individuals show inefficient gating of threat from working memory
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that threat-related distracters were difficult to filter on average and that this difficulty was exaggerated among anxious individuals, indicating that dispositionally anxious individuals allocate excessive working memory storage to threat, even when it is irrelevant to the task at hand.
Profiling task stress with the dundee stress state questionnaire
TL;DR: The Dundee Stress State Questionnaire (DSSQ) as mentioned in this paper is based on a factor model that differentiates 11 primary state factors, which cohere around three higher-order dimensions of task engagement, distress and worry.

Understanding the dark and bright sides of anxiety: A theory of workplace anxiety.
TL;DR: This work uncovers the debilitative and facilitative nature of dispositional and situational workplace anxiety by positioning emotional exhaustion, self-regulatory processing, and cognitive interference as distinct contrasting processes underlying the relationship between workplace anxiety and job performance.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.
Akira Miyake,Naomi P. Friedman,Michael J. Emerson,Alexander H. Witzki,Amy Howerter,Tor D. Wager +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anxiety and cognitive performance: Attentional control theory.
TL;DR: Attentional control theory is an approach to anxiety and cognition representing a major development of Eysenck and Calvo's (1992) processing efficiency theory and may not impair performance effectiveness when it leads to the use of compensatory strategies (e.g., enhanced effort; increased use of processing resources).

The Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) and its correlates
TL;DR: A questionnaire measure of self-reported failures in perception, memory, and motor function, the most plausible view is that cognitive failure makes a person vulnerable to showing bad effects of stress, rather than itself resulting from stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anxiety and Performance: The Processing Efficiency Theory
TL;DR: Theories of anxiety and performance need to address at least two major issues: (1) the complexity and apparent inconsistency of the findings; and (2) the conceptual definition of task difficulty as mentioned in this paper.

The relations among inhibition and interference control functions: a latent-variable analysis.
Naomi P. Friedman,Akira Miyake +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the term inhibition has been overextended and that researchers need to be more specific when discussing and measuring inhibition-related functions.
